Intimités amoureuses : France, 1920-1975 / Anne-Claire Rebreyend.

"Mr Ingram advances the interesting theory that, with the intellectual development of woman, the two sexes are becoming more alike, and that what he describes as a "bisexual" standpoint may emerge. This book deals frankly with the problem, but there is nothing in it which makes it unsuitable for circulation in any quarter of society."--Provided by publisher.

The modern attitude to the sex problem / Kenneth Ingram.

Theatre director and author Neil Bartlett in conversation with writer Kate Pullinger about his commission WOULD YOU MIND? which featured in the Wellcome Collection 'The Institute of Sexology' exhibition. The project interrogates the idea of the sex survey by asking the participant to take on the role of both sexologist and respondent. Every week, visitors were invited to respond to a series of challenging and sometimes unexpected questions about sex. Their anonymous contributions – and the confessions, anxieties and appeals they disclose – were displayed in the exhibition itself. Over the 25 weeks of its life, the work evolved to reveal a frank picture of the exhibition’s true subject: the respondant themselves. Questions and answers with the audience are at the end.

In conversation with Neil Bartlett.

"When it comes to sexuality, people with physical or intellectual disabilities are often seen as asexual or hypersexual. Their sexuality is heavily regulated and/or seen as dangerous or inappropriate. In reality: it is not inappropriate for intellectually or physically disabled folks to desire or engage in sexual activities. This zine is an introduction to some thinkers/artists/activists and their ideas & concepts that deal with the intersection of disability & sexuality!”—[page 2]
